How can I say this: Japanese Companies, and companies in the USA and other countries were doing well and producing and manufacturing products in their countries, The people were earning good wages and had jobs, Then these companies decided their profit margins werent large enough and started looking for cheap labor. They found it in Taiwan, then Korea, then in China. And in each of these places where they found cheap labor they used it until the pay rates started becoming better, then they looked again, and moved on. China has become the great supplier of cheap labor, Tons of money pouring in on a country that has always had trouble with freedom for its people. China today is a creation of companies who lost their National Identity and became prostitutes to big money. What will happen with this creation is anybody's guess. Mine is that they will become more agressive until we face a really dangerous situation and war with China. Thanks to money from countries they are now aggressive against. We made our bed and its going to be a rough sleep.
My thought also. They are using our money (of which we get low cost products) to build a war machine to confront us in the Far East (Taiwan). The stirring up of anger against Japan is probably to stir up nationalism against us. The PRC Chinese history(???) books do not say that the USA rescued China from Japan in WWII and instead that we were the same as Japan.
But they are making a big mistake. The Japanese sound aware of the game the PRC is playing with nationalism.
